FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
- I clicked on 'View Panel' but the Social Network panel failed to show up:
You might be using the wrong version of Cytoscape. Refer back to Installation. Make sure that you are running the latest version of Cytoscape.
I tried searching for a network but encountered a Network could not be loaded error message.
- This means that Cytoscape was not able to build a network because the query you used was too terse, too broad or too niche. Try to be more specific with your query. Use search filters.
- Cytoscape was unable to build a network out of my Incites data: This issue usually arises because:
- The file you're trying to load is invalid. Verify that the file you are trying to load is in fact a valid Incites data file. A valid Incites data file should contain 6 columns and the columns should be separated by spaces.
- The path to the file is broken. It may be that you loaded the file correctly but in the process the file's path got corrupted. In order to fix this issue simply re-load the file again.
- The network already exists. If you supply a network name that's already been taken, Cytoscape will refuse to build a network. In order to fix this, simply switch the network's name to a more unique alternative.
The buttons are non-responsive. This isn't an issue associated with the app itself. It's a Cytoscape 3.x issue. This usually happens when Cytoscape is starving for memory. It might be a good idea to thoroughly scrutinize Cytoscape's memory usage. For more on this (as well as other general Cytoscape 3.x issues) click HERE
